Joystick Mapping
The hardcoded values for the joystick are based on the Thrustmaster 1600M with the following functions being mapped to it:
| type | number | description | Camera Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| button | 0 | "fire" | OSD menu on/off |
| button | 1 | top center | OSD menu enter |
| button | 2 | top left | aperture narrower |
| button | 3 | top right | aperture wider |
| button | 4 | left panel, back left | camera/preset 1 |
| button | 5 | left panel, back center | camera/preset 2 |
| button | 6 | left panel, back right | camera/preset 3 |
| button | 7 | left panel, front right | camera/preset 6 |
| button | 8 | left panel, front center | camera/preset 5 |
| button | 9 | left panel, front left | camera/preset 4 |
| button | 10 | right panel, back right | camera/preset 7 |
| button | 11 | right panel, back center | camera/preset 8 |
| button | 12 | right panel, back left | camera/preset 9 |
| button | 13 | right panel, front left | camera/preset 10 |
| button | 14 | right panel, front center | camera/preset 11 |
| button | 15 | right panel, front right | camera/preset 12 |
| axis | 0 | main stick horizontal | pan |
| axis | 1 | main stick vertical | tilt |
| axis | 2 | main stick rotation | zoom |
| axis | 3 | front slider | Camera/preset toggle |
| axis | 4 | nipple joystick horizontal | OSD menu back/ok |
| axis | 5 | nipple joystick vertical | OSD menu up/down |
In the future, I'm hopeful I'll find the will to allow these functions to be configured from the web interface
